On August 19 and 20, 2019, the United States saw its first ever Native American Presidential Forum in Sioux City, Iowa. There, Tribal leaders and Native organizers, including Native youth, were able to ask the nine candidates questions concerning topics such as the climate crisis, missing and murdered Indigenous women, and continuous government neglect of Native American peoples. Each candidate was individually questioned by a panel of six to eight panelists, in front of an audience of members from different Tribal Nations across the country.

La zona norte de Guatemala es una de las áreas más ricas en todo el país por la gran cantidad de recursos naturales con los que cuenta. Irónicamente, la mayor parte de población Indígena Maya Q’eqchi’ que vive en esta zona, se encuentra en condiciones de pobreza y extrema pobreza, y están enfrentando además otros problemas causados por los monocultivos de palma y hule, los proyectos mineros, y la destrucción de áreas protegidas para la construcción de hidroeléctricas o proyectos similares.
